@agistournas: Thank you, and thank you for your work in favor of the DH team

@Fernando Torres: I know nothing about soccer. But teasing... that I know :closedeyes:

@jpbfr: I saw that, in the previous WiF2 AAR...months after you posted. Since it is almost the same "opening", I wanted to go faster here and provide less explanations. I guess that I have partially failed.

@Hepzibah3: Now, I am blushing. I don't consider that I deserve all of that, not with so many good AARs in the forum. And my "writing" is so far...copying-pasting (English is definitively not my native language). But what I want to achieve is to synthesize as much as possible, and avoid mass of texts (too much information kill the information). You can look at my previous attempt, it is more detailed and structured to be a tutorial (see my signature).

You are very welcome, sir.
I wish you could continue this nice AAR providing more details as you did in the first AARchtung...
I would like to follow your steps playing as Germany myself.
It would be like playing an excelent tutorial...
;)
Cheers,
Agis
 
@Cybvep: Thank you. And my apologies in advance for your country.

@agistournas: There was actually nothing else of concrete to report, except for 1 serie of airbases and few technologies stolen. I have not increased my counter-intelligece this time, and it is weirdly quieter than in the previous "AARchtung Panzer!". I keep some dissent to soak up with events, and I still have not started any research.

@Cybvep: I'm taking my apologies back.

too bad there are no events that cover Hitlers temporary persistence to ally Poland, would be fun to see an event chain without war with the Allies and straight on attack on USSR
